Brain fade,you are right about ryanair's pay,not too sure about the conditions or the workload,not having experienced their rostering,i can,t comment.Where i disagree with you totally,is your assumption that the current aviation market will continue,with ryanair and easyjet offering decent salaries.there is gross over capacity,the new passenger duty has enraged oleary,too many carriers chasing customers travelling only if the fares are cheap enough.something has to give and i am sure it won,t be too far in the future before the market adjusts accordingly.
